Troubleshooting the Drive
Using the OIM
Using the OIM, you can troubleshoot drive problems using one of several methods.
• If a fault or alarm message is displayed, you can use the message and the Fault or
Alarm Menu to identify the problem.
• If the drive is not ready, you can use the Diagnostics Menu to identify the problem.
• If a program error message is displayed, you can use the message to identify the
problem.
7.1 Identifying Problems Indicated by Faults or Alarms
The OIM identifies problems as faults or alarms. A fault is a condition that stops the
drive or prevents it from running. An alarm is a condition that you should be aware of,
but it does not stop the drive or prevent it from running.
When a fault occurs:
• the fault indicator turns on.
• the fault is logged.
• the drive coasts to a stop.
• a fault message is displayed on the OIM screen, such as the one shown in figure
7.1.
